I realized some time in the past week that my absolute favorite shows on television right now are How I Met Your Mother, Chuck, and The Big Bang Theory. HIMYM and Chuck make sense to me (and oh god please let Chuck be renewed! I wasn't too concerned a few months ago, but I'm getting more and more nervous, especially since its ratings have been declining. It's so good, seriously! I can't be canceled!), but TBBT is kind of random. I don't know why, it's just so fun! It makes me happy to watch, and I always laugh out loud several times during an episode. And I do ship Sheldon/Penny, but I am under no illusion that that ship will ever happen, so it's not even that. But I guess all three shows do have the fact that they make me grin and be happy in common. I am ridiculously excited for Chuck's new episode tonight, btw, and that is the main thing getting me over the fact that there is no new HIMYM or TBBT tonight.

Also, I really feel like doing a rewatch of Chuck. I'm not sure if I would do just season 1, just season 2, or both seasons. I'm kind of leaning towards both. ugh, this is such a bad idea. But I really want to! =/ I totally do not have time for this these next two weeks. This is me, though, so there's a good chance I'll crack and do it anyways.

My professor finally graded my research proposal introduction/rationale paper thing that I was talking about like... a month ago, and anyways, I got a 98! I'm kind of amazed considering how disorganized I felt it was, and how I changed my topic last minute basically and did most of it the afternoon before it was due. And all I heard at the beginning of the semester was how tough a grader this professor is, but so far I've gotten a 98 and a 97 on the first two major things we've done in this class. I was so freaked out at the beginning of the semester about this class, but it's thankfully going well. Let's just hope the second exam on Thursday continues this streak.

Also, all the members of my Diff Eq group managed to get back to me and we're meeting tonight. And that's great, but the best part is that one of the group members said he'd work on the third problem and I wasn't really expecting anything (...that sounds bad, but to be fair, I have done basically all of the work on the projects up to this point, and there have been a lot of instances where someone in the group will be like "I'll work on this problem before we meet!" and then we meet and they've done nothing) but he e-mailed us later and was like "Hey, guess what, I figured it out!" and I seriously want to like marry him right now or something, because I was stressing out so hard over that. And I think I can maybe do #1, so then all we have is #2 to get through.

Anyways, I should probably get some work done before I have to go to class. Today's going to be very long and busy. sigh.

I've been planning on doing the Top Stuff of 2008 picspam for this month's challenge at picspammy but I haven't done anything yet, and I kind of realized that, hey, there's only a week and a half left in the month, so maybe I should get on that. I'm having issues figuring out what exactly to picspam, though. And with narrowing stuff down. I was thinking of doing favorite episodes of the year, but I'm pretty sure that would take me like a month to go through everything I've watched this year, and I don't remember stuff from earlier this year very well at all. I don't know. I'm probably overthinking this. It's also quite possible that this will be like last month where I plan on doing something all month and then... don't. Except last month I had the excuse of school getting busy, whereas this month I'm just lazy.

Also I have a confession to make: I like 30 Rock, but I don't think it's nearly as brilliant as everyone else seems to. I mean, I keep looking at all these picspams of people's favorite stuff of 2008 and 30 Rock pops up so much and I'm just like "Really?" It's a funny show most of the time, but I just can't get into it. If I missed an episode, I really wouldn't care that much. And people say that this year of The Office isn't good and last year's sucks, and maybe I just put The Office up on a pedestal where it can do no wrong (actually, that's probably very true), but I don't see how this season of 30 Rock has been any funnier than The Office's. =/ Honestly, I laugh way more out loud at The Big Bang Theory than almost any other comedy I'm watching this season, including The Office and HIMYM, and definitely more than 30 Rock. And now I just feel like I'm kind of crazy that I'm not seeing the brilliance in the show. I don't know. Because I do like it, really! I just don't think it's a million times funnier than The Office or How I Met Your Mother or The Big Bang Theory. But maybe that's just me. (Hopefully I haven't alienated everyone on my flist now!)

Speaking of HIMYM, I had this dream last night that when I woke up, I swore it was an actual episode of the show. It was weird. I was like "I know that was a dream, but I totally remember actually watching that episode!" And then as I became more awake, I realized that I was just crazy. I also dreamed that the ants that have invaded my house came into my bedroom and they were everywhere and it was irritating.

How is Christmas already in 4 days? It doesn't feel like December should be more than half over yet.

Things are starting to get busier here. It was a nice two weeks of relaxation while it lasted, I suppose. I guess I don't have loads of stuff during next week (which is a half-week anyways), but I have two tests and 1-2 projects and a lab report due the week after Thanksgiving, and unless I want to do all that during Thanksgiving weekend, I need to start some of it now.

Also, this weekend is going to suck. I have a concert for Wind Ensemble on Friday. I mean, it's not terrible, but it kind of screws up my night. And on Saturday my German professor invited the class to have dinner at his house. Except he's not providing transportation, we have to get there, which means I have to learn how to take the bus to his house, and I'm not good at public transportation, ok? And we have to make a German skit up and memorize it to perform there or he won't feed us. And I'm a picky eater so there's a good chance I won't even like what he's made for us but I'll feel really awkward saying no. And my closest friend in the class isn't going to be there because she has work. So basically, that situation kind of sucks. I mean, it was nice of him to invite us over and cook for us and all that, but I'd rather not deal with the hassle. I wish my concert were on Saturday or the dinner was on Friday because then I could miss it. =/

I've started watching The Big Bang Theory. It's pretty stupid of me because it's not like I need more distractions right now. But I was really bored last night and I got a lot of stuff done and I felt like watching TV but I was miraculously caught up on TV, so I decided to give it a try. I like it, mostly. It can be kind of offensive sometimes, but it's pretty cute. I also maybe ship Sheldon and Penny? Which is stupid because I feel like if they're going to go there with any of them, it'll be Penny and Leonard. But whatever, I like the idea of her and Sheldon much better. I don't know why. I'm maybe crazy. Anyways, I'm only half-way through season 1 and I don't even know if I'll keep up with it during this season (I might just marathon it next summer), but yeah. It's pretty cute and can be very funny at times.
